Esprit Sport Physiothérapie

SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

Sports physiotherapy has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, driven by demand from athletes but also by supply, as numerous postgraduate training programs are now available to physiotherapists.

Sports physiotherapists have a very special relationship with athletes when they are injured, doing everything possible to ensure a quick return to sport. The physiotherapist must also be present when the athlete is well in order to prevent any possible injury. The close relationship between the athlete, the physiotherapist, the sports doctor, the coach, and/or the physical trainer is essential.

This sports-specific physiotherapy includes injury prevention, appropriate physical tests, assessment and re-assessment of the athlete, and rehabilitation after injury. The sports physiotherapist, who is present during training sessions, camps, and competitions, will also provide "pre- and post-exercise" care and deal with any emergencies during the competition.

ORTHOPEDICS

According to the Larousse dictionary, orthopedics is essentially a surgical discipline that treats congenital or acquired disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the spine (bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles).

These conditions most often require rehabilitation by a physical therapist.

RHEUMATOLOGY

According to the Larousse dictionary, rheumatology is a medical specialty that deals with diseases of the joints (rheumatism), bones, and certain diseases of the muscles and nerves.

These conditions most often require rehabilitation carried out by a physical therapist.

BACK SCHOOL – ERGONOMICS – POSTUROLOGY

Throughout our lives, our backs are subjected to many stresses. Most of the time, we don't pay much attention to our posture, position, and movements until pain sets in. That's when we regret our past choices... Nothing is lost, but we must take action!
